Identifiability and Inference for Generalized Latent Factor Models
广义潜在因子模型的可识别性与统计推断
Generalized latent factor analysis not only provides a useful latent embedding approach in statistics and machine learning, but also serves as a widely used tool across various scientific fields, such as psychometrics, econometrics, and social sciences. Ensuring the identifiability of latent factors and the loading matrix is essential for the model's estimability and interpretability, and various identifiability conditions have been employed by practitioners.
